Chapter 678 Yang Pu Misled Me
On July 20, Ping An led the vanguard army to approach Datong City and set up camp five miles away. Three days later, Zhu Gaoxu led the main cavalry to arrive, with more than 30,000 cavalrymen marching to the city of Datong!
The autumn wind was bleak, and the dust in the air was mixed with fallen leaves; outside Datong City, soldiers and horses were surging, and there was a murderous atmosphere. The cavalry of various units had deployed troops in all directions, and there were running horses everywhere. The neighing and the sound of horse hooves in the air brought the breath of war.
Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse to the east gate of the city and looked at the flags and weapons on the tower for a while. He turned to Hou Hai and said, "Shoot the letter of surrender to the top of the city and ask the King of Dai to send someone out to talk."
Before Hou Hai could reply, he suddenly stared at the city gate in the distance. Zhu Gaoxu turned around and saw that the city g

On both sides of the Yang River, there was a vast plain. Between the ridges of the fields, people, horses, mule carts, and wheelbarrows formed long lines, and among the people, swords and guns stood in rows, and flags fluttered in the wind.Parallel teams were marching westwards, stretching out from north to south. If people looked ahead, they could see endless long dragons, moving in the sunlight. There were also war horses running back and forth between the teams, raising clouds of smoke.The virtuous lady Li, sitting in a carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain on the left. What came into view was the shadows of the mountains in the distance to the south, which were like dark clouds pressing down on the horizon. Then she saw some cattle and sheep moving along the river on the grass by the river.The eunuch Cao Fu was riding a horse beside her, so the virtuous princess asked in Chinese, "Eunuch Cao, have we reached the Mongolian steppes?""It's earl
Game of the Throne Chapter 680: Journey
The next morning, nearly 300,000 soldiers and able-bodied men of the Ming army set out for the northern expedition. Amid the sound of trumpets, the vast land between the Yanghe River and the Qingshui River was filled with people and horses, like a sea of people.The red morning sun hung in the sky, while the earth was sprinkled with yellow sunlight. Under the slanting sunlight, the colors of everything were very saturated, and the soldiers seemed to be covered with a layer of orange-yellow paint.Countless helmets were surging, and many wide-brimmed iron helmets were seen, which were different from the troops on the northern frontier. Because more than half of the troops were mobilized from the capital, and the south was rainy, the helmets were all wide-brimmed.The sound of horse hooves and loud footsteps mixed together, and a thick "rumbling" noise resounded between heaven and earth."Swoosh!" A loud eagle cry was heard in the air.Zhu Gaoxu, h
Game of the Throne Chapter 681: Heaven’s Arrangement
Huang Yan and his group headed north across a desert, and soon they saw an endless grassland.Between the grasslands, a winding river several dozen steps wide flows into Bui Er Hai (Lake Beier). On both sides of the river, there are large tracts of reeds, and the snow-white reed flowers dance up and down in the wind. Cows, sheep, horsemen, and tents gradually come into view.Suddenly, Huang Yan saw two teams of horsemen in the distance, encircling this side!"What do they want to do?!" Huang Yan asked hurriedly.The Wuliangha people gestured downward with their palms, "Don't worry, Eunuch Huang. The leaders in the Hulun River area have all received benefits from me. Tuotuo also knows some people. Once they know that Tuotuo is under Arutai's command, they will not dare to do anything!"Huang Yan nervously watched the troops on the grassland. Seeing that they were all carrying bows and arrows, his face turned pale with panic.The Wuliangha pe
Game of the Throne Chapter 682: The Enemy of My Enemy
Zhu Gaoxu galloped to the edge of a lava platform and looked into the distance. A gray city appeared near the river bend.Kaipingwei! This city was originally the Shangdu (Xilinguole League) of the Yuan Dynasty. It was once a big city, but now it has declined beyond recognition. The city now sits alone on the earth.From Xinghe Qianhu Suo (Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou) to Kaipingwei, the distance is more than 800 miles from north to south and even wider from east to west, with only two post stations along the way. The court's control over this area can only be regarded as better than nothing.The Ming army took about 20 days to travel the 800-li route. They encountered no enemy forces along the way, and even saw few people. Suddenly, the soldiers saw the city and shouted excitedly from far and near.Zhu Gaoxu turned his horse around, took a detour back to the post road, and then followed the army and continued marching towards Kaiping Weicheng.T
Game of the Throne Chapter 683 Don’t even think about having an easy life
From late August to early September, the Ming army of 250,000 infantry and cavalry and tens of thousands of able-bodied men were divided into eight armies, maintaining a formation that could reinforce each other and marching all the time. The army had already entered the area where the Tatars often moved.There were no more cities or villages along the way, let alone government post stations. It was a desolate place. The combined population of all the people within a radius of hundreds of miles should not be as large as the number of the Ming army.It rarely rains on the grasslands at this time of year, so with so many people on the march, they must take roads with sufficient water sources. In addition to rivers, Zhu Gaoxu would occasionally see lakes, all of which were named Naoer, because it was a name first given by the Mongols and translated from the phonetic notation.Around the "Nar" in front, thick smoke and flickering flames were billowing. Zhu Gaoxu
Game of the Throne Chapter 684 Eagle’s Message
"Phew!" A high-pitched eagle call sounded in the air. The very strong Ping An raised his head, his eyes chasing the hovering sea turtle in the sky.The grassland was too monotonous. Suddenly there was something strange. The attention of many soldiers around was attracted, and many people looked up at the sky. But it was of no use. No one in the Ming army could understand the language of the eagle.After a while, the falconer came over on horseback and said, "Commander, there seems to be enemy troops in the northwest!""Distance, number of people." Ping An said immediately.The surrounding soldiers started to make a noise, and they all looked very happy. Damn it, he has walked so far without seeing the shadow of the enemy, and now he can finally fight! Everyone is looking forward to it and are ready to have a big fight!At this time, the falconer looked embarrassed and confused, obviously he didn't know. Ping An also noticed that the falconer just
Game of the Throne Chapter 685: Hard to Hide the Murderous Intent
The baggage train of the Ming army's vanguard was two miles to the south and had not received any orders to form a battle array in advance.The human-powered Wugang carts were still arranged in a long snake-like formation, with some mule carts and wheelbarrows among them; until just now, no one had made any move because the order from the superiors was to maintain the formation.The baggage soldiers had to temporarily adjust their direction on the spot, pointing the end with the sharp blade and the baffle to the northwest, and keeping alert on the spot.In the distance, there was smoke billowing, the sound of horses’ hooves roaring, and shouts deafening.Most of the baggage soldiers were dressed in gray uniforms, without any armor on their bodies. Their only protection was the iron helmets on their heads. Some soldiers drew their swords and stared at the direction of the roar of horse hooves; some soldiers held their muskets and watched, and some were

The grassland was gray, the noise was deafening, and there were people shouting loudly all around. At this time, Ping An vaguely saw a Tatar who was better dressed than others. He wore an iron helmet without a brim and a white fur collar.The figure flashed by and was soon obscured by the chaotic cavalry and rising dust.Ping An instinctively knew that this must be a Tatar of status! Without hesitation, he raised the bloody iron axe and shouted, "Kill!" He led the elite cavalry and rushed over there.A group of elite Ming cavalrymen rushed forward! An unlucky Tatar didn't escape and ran into Ping An. Ping An raised his axe and knocked him and his horse to the ground. After a while, he saw the Tatar in bright armor again. He saw that guy was running on his horse, turning his head and waving his scimitar and shouting."Gee!" Ping An kicked the horse's belly twice and rushed forward at an accelerated speed.The Tatar also discovered Ping An's cavalr
